WTF?! Invisible Rims...

WTF?! Invisible Rims...

It might be cool if he had a nice brake setup...

so what materials went into the construction of these wheels? what brand are they?

damn... that is soooo cool...

i wonder what they look like while driving.

Cant imagine those are glass. Glass would be shattered the first use of an impact gun.

my guess would be some form of plexi or plexi-like material.

Wow, is that real? I really like those.

crazyness

insanity

There is no way any glass or plexy would hold under those kinds of stresses. My guess would be that there are about 10,000 little tentioned spokes that are like fishing line size that you dont see and then it has high temp polycarbonate or plexy just covering it. I honestly don't know how else they could do it, hell i'm even skepticle about what I just said pulling it off

Im guessing really thick plexi or lexan.

that rim can't be stable... probably gets bent easy, especially wit stiff suspension

that is extremely gay......

ok, ive been researching online trying to see what those actually are... and im sick and tired of not getting any results in google... i give up...

:bricks1:

interesting...

i bet those wheels will break over time and is not recommended for hard cornering just for show only... so those probably aren't street legal

where did you find these pictures?

If you find any information on this process I would be interested. I thought translucent metal was impossible to create but maybe someone has beat the system

My guess would be though if someone invented transparent steel or aluminum we would know about it before a set of wheels showed up made out of it I mean NASA would have a transparent shuttle or something hehe.

im guessing its made out of the same material as of those bullet proof glass... those 2" thick ones that they used on mythbuster...

your kidding right?

heh...lol...

yup

or like aquarium lexan... 6 inches thick able to hold back 2 million gallons of water and fish.

Lexan I'm guessing also

Wow that is slick! I've never seen that before. It could be Lexan, a good 3" thick or more. Thats the strongest plastic I know of.

Now all they have to do is engrave some slick design in the back of it and light it up with some LEDs. That would be crazy lookin'

Yeah I agree. I doubt you're going to see that guy actually driving on those rims, much less doing anything like autox. They'd probably scratch and crack pretty easily.

image removed due to high badwidth usage error message, anyone have a copy of the pic so i can see?

just think medal rim with nothing in the middle...

uhhh.. brake dust?
